Banned from Wal-Mart This is why women should not take men shopping against their will. After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Walmart. Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunately, my wife is like most women - - she loved to browse. Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from the local Wal-Mart. Dear Mrs. Samsel, Over the past six months, your husband has been causing quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against Mr. Samsel are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras. 1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's carts when they weren't looking. 2 . July 2 : Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals. 3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women's restroom. 4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, 'Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away. ' 5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&M's on layaway. 6. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area. 7. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told other shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department. 8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?' 9. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose. 10. September 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked t he clerk where the antidepressants were. 11. October 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the 'Mission Impossible' theme. 12. October 6: In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look' by using different sizes of funnels. 13. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!' 14. October 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed a fetal position and screamed 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!' And last, but not least. 15. October 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here!' Regards, Tom Richards Walmart Manager

Sounds like my kinda tube lol. Whats the website?

One day I was out prefishing for a club tourny (there was another guy from my club there or else I'd never admit this). I forgot to put the plug in my boat. It was when I first got my boat so I was still new to the pre-launch routine. My grandpap dropped me in and after he started driving up to the parking lot I realized what I did. I desperately tried to call his cell phone to get him to come down with the trailer, he had it turned off. Luckily the other guy in my club just launched his boat so he let me pull on his trailer to put the plug in. By the time my grandpap came down he never realized what happened and I had to tell him. I said, "why do you have a cell phone if its never on?" He replied, "The cell phone isnt for when people need to call me its for when I need to call THEM." So of course at the tourny the guys teased me pretty good and for that years dwayne award I got a "Don't forget the plug" sign to hang on my rear view mirror. Speaking of dwayne awards, here's a good one. My dad really had to urinate and there wasn't a public restroom at the launch ramp. So he did what anyone else would do, he found a tree and used that. The guy living across from the launch ramp didnt take to kindly to this so he came out and made a ruckus saying that his wife was home and he didnt like the fact that another guy was "urinating" so close to his home (mind you that he was like 100 yards away and my dad was facing the opposite direction). The guys in the club shook their fists and said, "if you can see him from that far away he must be mighty proud of himself!" Turns out the guy called the police on us and the policeman went over to the wrong guy and asked him if he was urinating in the bushes. The guy he walked over to was an undercover narcotics agent, a state cop. He flashed his badge to the local police over and said, "I wasnt the person in question but there was nothing wrong with what he did. There isn't a public restroom and he couldn't be seen." With that the policman pretty much put his tail between his legs and said the guy was a crazy vietnam veteran who complains about anything. We still talk about that one to this day.

Is anyone else thinking of giving this a try ;D Squirrels might be cuddly little plaything to some people, but their demon possessed baby Satans to me. :'( LOL ;D Here's the story to that one: When I was 12, I was deer hunting in a box stand ---this was only the second or third time I had been alone in a stand--- and a squirrel decided to pay me a visit. It hopped into my stand and (get this) attacked me. I guess it panicked. I had to get shots afterword. Squirrel season has been personal ever since.. When me and my buddies were in boyscouts there was a chipmunk under our floorboards of our tent and we decided to try and catch it with a fishing rod. We baited a regular #10 hook (I think I'm not positive on the size anymore) with a kernel of popcorn and we caught it. We weren't really expecting to catch it because we were standing on the floorboards it was under and it made a huge ruckus. In the end we took it to the scoutmaster and he cut the line and the chipmunk ran off. Last time I'll ever do that though, we had latrine duty for the next couple days

lol not 100 a day, that rediculous. I caught 20 some one day and 40 some the next two days. Warmer - miniskirt or turboset apparently its one in the same lol. I must say though if my sponsors wanted me to wear a miniskirt to a tourny and I was getting paid to do it I would.

When your at erie its not hard to catch 100 smallies. I was jerkbaiting and drifting tubes in Dunkirk bay when they were getting ready to spawn. Almost everywhere you went there were big fish willing to hit. And thanks everyone for your opinions!

x2 :-X lol to each his own I guess

Ahh lol, I never took that into consideration Im game for some catch and release deer hunting. I hate to kill them but I like shooting lol. I could go for some catch and release squirrel hunting too

lol not normally, but I did take it to erie with me. 100 big smallies in 3 days does tire out my forearm on a spinning rod with 8 lb test. No offense taken I shoulda probably mentioned that when I talked about the "fish fatigue" lol.

How would you track it without a blood trail?

I guess spanish people can't read as fast as that guy talks

I was a youth member when I first joined my adult club at 15 and I didnt have to file any release form, however my dad did join with me and we fished tournaments together. Both as riders in seperate boats but he was there. I wasn't turned down, but if I was I know the rejection that I would feel. In turn I can also see how Sam's points are good ones. Since my dad joined with me I can't say that I'd want just a youth member in the club. Maybe if he could bring his father, or mother, with him it would make your club feel better about it.

Very informative, thank you ;D

The turboset is an arm cradle you attach to your fishing pole and it gives you leverage on your hooksets, it also swivels with your arm when the fish is fighting. It does take a little while to break in the swiveling though. And a guy from my bass club used to make them out of PVC pipe before it was being manufactured

I was just wondering if anybody on this forum has ever heard of this product, and if you have what do you think of it? The owner of the company contacted me and sent me on for free awhile back and it's working out to be better than I expected. I expected it to be something almost like the kicktail minnows or the banjo minnnows, something out there to catch more fishermen than fish. But it went way above those expectations on some of the things it advertises. It says it improves your casting, I havent noticed any real improvement in that area. It does however increase your hookup ratio on a spinning outfit a great deal. I don't really fish it on a baitcaster because like alot of guys I didn't see the benefits of teaching myself to use a left-handed reel early enough. For fighting fish though theres nothing better, it really does help the fatigue from taking over in your arms. What does everyone on here think?

Very nice and very informative, if all the 12 and 13 year olds don't look at this and understand what everyone is trying to tell them I don't really know what will. Great advice.
